 The women of India haven't many rights. A native Indian lady was, when child of il years, married, in accordance to the Indian custom, to youth several years her senior. The marriage was purely formal ceremony, and after it the young wife went back to her parents home, and was there Gan exception al case in India) given thorough education. year ago she wrote, under an assumed name, series of articles in the Times of India, setting forth the disabilities under which, in accordance with the law and social custom, the women of India labored. Some months ago her husband made demand that she should leave her parents home and live with him. To this she objected, and he brought the case into the English courts, where it was shown that she had never consented to the marriage, that he was incapable of supporting her, was man en- tirely without education, and was physically unhealthy. The judge in this instance held that the dlsoualihcatlons were sufficient to justify her in her action; but, the case being appealed to the highest court his decision was reversed and a new trial ordered, the judge on this last occasion holding that, though he greatly regretted it, under the law of the land he did not see any way open to him but to decide that she must go to her husbands home, and gave her a month in which to do so, with penalty of six months imprisonment if she refused. She has an- nounced that she proposes to accept the all formative of imprisonment.

The custom house and post office which
aspire to control the Democratic party in
Portland and Cumberland county are leav-
ing no stone unturned to secure the election
of Mr.. Mccarthy. They nominated him and
his election will be recognized as their spec
ial triumph and give them firm grip on the
machine. They have contributed literally
themselves in money and work and they
have secured large contributions from other
sources. Assisting them are certain inter-
ests that have found Mayor Chapman too
obstinate and acute for their purposes, and
that hope to get more pliable mayor in Mr..
Mccarthy.

By voting for all the Democratic candidates
for representative to the legislature last fall.
Notwithstanding man of his own national
ity was a candidate on the Republican ticket,
Mr.. Mccarthy set good example to our
Irish citizens. That example ought to be
followed today by Irishmen. Those of them
who are Republicans should vote for Mr.
Chapman because he is a Republican, and
not for Mr.. Mccarthy because he is an Irish
man. Race issues ought to have no place in
politics. Because Mr.. Mccarthy is an Irish
man is not a-good reason for voting against
him; neither is tia good reason for voting
for him.

Henry Ward Beecher. Saturday, closes the
active career of man in whose life there
has been much for the American people to
admire and more for them to regret than in
any other of the many famous lives that
have ended within the last two years Mr..
Beecher's family is very eminent His father,
DR.. Lyman Beecher, was one of the fore
most preachers Of his day, admired at the
beginning of this century for his eloquent
sermon at the obsequies of Alexander Ham,
ilton, in middle life famous for his crusade
against the besetting sin of intemperance in
New England, and in old age envied as the
father of family of gifted children, of
whom Harriet Beecher Stowe and Henry
Ward Beecher are the most famous. Henry
Ward Beecher was born in 1918, at Litch-
field, Conn, and graduated from Amherst
College in 1884. In 1887 he began
his career as a preacher. in 1S47
he went to Plymouth church.
With that church he made his reputation,
and with it he remained through the years
of his triumph, aud also through the years
of shadow and doubt The pulpit of
Plymouth Church has been more than
centre and source Of religious thought; from
it have been discussed the great social and
political questions of the day; and in former
years Mr.. Beecher's utterances exerted a
great and good influence upon the public
mind. His services to this country during
the civil war will not be forgotten. The
public opinion of Great Britain was wayer-
ing towards the Southern Confederacy; the
cause Of the North needed the explanation
and the support which only popular orator
could give it. On Mr.. Beecher devolved the
difficult task of stemming the tide of popular
opinion in foreign country, task
very difficult at that time and under
those circumstances, but which he ac-
complished with credit to himself and
| great advantage to his country. As
a popular lecturer in the lyceums, as a
contributor to The Independent. as the au-
thor of novel, of hundreds of published SER
mons and lectures, as the editor of the Chris
tian Union in his writings and his indiyi-
duality he has become thoroughly familiar
to the American public Before stricken on
Saturday, he was preparing for the Century
Magazine an account of his visit to England
in 1868, and was also deyoting his spare
time to the second volume of his Life OF
Christ. For his great abilities, for his quail
tiles of heart aud mind, Mr.. Beecher, more
than asy other American preacher, has en-,
joyed popularity and fame; and more un.
fortunate than any other he has in his latel
years been the subject of their sympathy OF
| their condemnation.
